Jigme Thinley, the prime minister of Bhutan, has told Al Jazeera that his people would seek guidance from the country's king to intervene if the fledgling democracy had any major problems.
But Tshering Tobgay, an opposition leader, criticised Thinley's statement, saying it reflects a lack of trust and confidence in the government's capabilities.
Part of the reason why the country's democratic system is considered to be at its nascent stage, is because between 2008 and 2011, 45 parliament seats were won by the ruling Butan Peace and Prosperity Party and only two were taken by the opposition People's Democratic Party.
